Get Ready for “Yard Work Season” Safely

(Undated) — It may not feel like it, but “yard work season” will soon be here. Whether you are looking for a lawn care service or a landscaper, the Better Business Bureau wants you to do your homework before hiring a company to do the job. BBB Investigator, Don O’Brien, says it’s important to hire a reputable company and read the fine print. He suggests asking for references and photos of other jobs they’ve installed or maintained. He says to visit these locations if possible to get a firsthand view of the quality of their work. He also says to get specifics on prices and clarity on what services are included.
